Now That We Know All of John Dykstra's "Galactica" Footage is Crystal Clear and Razor Sharp in Appearance

 

....Including all of the deleted and never seen footage....

What additional (deleted footage) of John Dykstra's, does Universal Studios have stored away in its vaults?

1. The "Apollo / Zac" exploration of 'Cimtar' and "Cylon Tanker Cloud Cover" (Uncut)

Additional footage of Apollo and Zac flying past the two 'Cylon Tankers.' During one of the fly bys, Apollo initially notices some 'Cylon Raiders' hovering just beneath the cloud cover, with its engines displaying a low glow.

This footage was also intercut with "Starbuck's card game.

2. As the fleet emerges from the 'Red Starfield' after destroying all of the 'Cylon Mines', the 'Galactica' assumes orbit above 'Carillon', as does the entire ships in the fleet. 

Shuttlecrafts eventually emerge from the ships taking the fleet inhabitants down to the surface.

3. Pretty much every 'Rag-Tag Fleet Ship" had its own, lingering and extended 'beauty shot.' Including 'Rising Star', the 'Livery Ship' (the three film cannisters with giant landing pods), 'Celestra', and 'Colonial Movers.' The extended beauty shot of the 'Rising Star' is seen unedited in the episode 'Murder on The Rising Star.'

4. The explosion of the 'Battlestar Atlantia' was filmed (unedited) as an ever expanding explosion and slowly dissipating, without cutting to Adama and Tigh shielding their eyes.

5. Underbelly shots of the 'Galactica' and 'Rag-Tag Fleet Ships' filmed for the pilot but only seen thus far in "Mission Galactica: Cylon Attack."

More to come.

"So Say We All!!"
